    Bad back at the moment so no running sessions this week, but here’s a little video of the fleet ready for action when I’m up and about.

    Hi Ralph and Kim hope things going well over your way. One of my mates was here watching a couple of your videos yesterday. He really liked the look of the ballast in the potting shed station area. He plans to build an indoor/outdoor layout later in the year. Can you tell me what you used please?
    cheers
    Bob
    p.s. might be running in the snow tomorrow :>)

    Super effort...never really looked into outdoor layouts but this one really has a lot to offer and heaps of running area. Must be the first of many I have seen that are ballasted outside and even got some green. Good use of the turf. It really finishes the trackside.
    Thanks for sharing.
